NEWS RELEASE Sentosa and GMM Tai Hub Co. Ltd launch first joint residential project, Spooktacular Village - Laddaland Singapore, 4 June 2014 ― Sentosa Leisure Management Pte Ltd and its partner, GMM Tai Hub Co. Ltd, have unveiled plans for an exciting new property development at Sentosa’s Spooktacular Village – Laddaland . This October, all 40,000 square metres of Fort Siloso will be redeveloped into Laddaland , a prime leasehold property, and promises a heart-stopping lifestyle for adrenaline junkies. Situated along the coast of Sentosa, Fort Siloso is known for its rich background; from serving as Singapore’s coastal defence in the 1880s, to being a prison camp during the Japanese Occupation of World War II. Its historical background makes it an ideal location to stage an immersive real-life haunted village experience. Located minutes from mainland Singapore, the Spooktacular Village is easily accessible by the Sentosa Express. Said Mr. Jimmy Wong, Chief Property Agent (and also Events Director), Sentosa Leisure Management Pte Ltd, “The historic site, Fort Siloso, has always had residents come and go since World War 2. It is a unique and ageless property which offers good potential for development. Our partnership with GTH to redevelop the area into Laddaland will feed an insatiable demand for fun and fresh scares.” The premier Thai horror movie maker GTH will be introducing new features to the development. Laddaland will house three features, each providing 20-30 minutes of prolonged horror at any one time. The features are based on GTH’s international horror hits such as Laddaland, Alone, Countdown and their upcoming production, The Swimmers . Infused into various parts of the haunted Laddaland at Sentosa’s Spooktacular Village, one can expect a concoction of Asian horror folklore and out-of-this-world experiences that will arrest all human senses. In addition, there will be premium lots for take up, limited only to special VIPs. These premium lots promise a unique feature that will unveil a dark secret of the former Fort Siloso. “With our expertise of breathing life into movie sets, coupled with the enhanced understanding of creating horror sets using a natural setting like Fort Siloso, we are confident that Laddaland and its featured extended trails will be a home which is highly sought after by thrill-seekers and fun-lovers, which we have identified as a big segment for this project,” said Mr. Yongyoot Thongkongtoon, Senior Director of International Business for GTH. 1 In addition to the attractive features, Laddaland has a unique price model. Units are priced from $56.60 and have a special five-hour lease. They are expected to sell out fast, so interested parties are encouraged to make their bookings quickly.

Since its conceptualisation in 2009, Sentosa Spooktacular has cemented its unique positioning as Asia’s Scariest Fun, featuring only Asian ghosts and ghouls. Organised by Sentosa Leisure Management, this event has steadily grew from 3,000 visitors in 2009 to 15,000 visitors in 2013. Asia’s Scariest Fun is a concoction of horror and humour embedded in the rich history of Sentosa’s early beginnings as a prison camp during the World War II Japanese Occupation, the scare elements of Asia ghosts and tortured spirits, and the humour element that is signature of Asian horror movies and stories passed down from generation to generation. Having already established a reputation for being one of the largest Halloween event in Asia, Sentosa kicked its horror quotient up a notch for thrill-seekers by collaborating with GMM Tai Hub Co. Ltd – one of Thailand’s leading movie production studios – to bring Thai movie-themed trails into the 2013 version of Sentosa Spooktacular. In 2014, Sentosa renewed a 3-year collaboration with GMM Tai Hub Co. Ltd to continually provide high-octane and fresh experiences at Sentosa Spooktacular.
